Who we are

The Zionist Education Initiative (ZEI) is Nefesh B’Nefesh’s educational engine and your one-stop shop for all things Zionism. Dedicated to strengthening Jewish identity, Zionist literacy, and the living connection between Israel and the Jewish people, ZEI creates transformative learning experiences that inspire Jews of all ages to see themselves as active participants in the ongoing story of Zionism.

Our educational programs and experiences are designed for lifelong learners in Israel and North America who seek to engage with Zionism not only as an idea, but as a lived experience. Whether in the classroom, on a tour, in the field, on the land, or through meaningful volunteer opportunities, ZEI brings Zionist education to life.
